 Barry and Contador Hi guys, what a crazy day!! I first did the responsible pet owner thing and took my four legged hounds on a great two hour hiking adventure thru the Curacao outback!! By 9:30 it was so hot and humid we were all soaked and rushed home for some cool showers and a ton of relaxing in the air-co!
At 11:30 I rushed to the Dolphin Academy because not one but all the famous Pro bikers were there swimming with the dolphins. You would have thought Tom Cruise himself was here again because of all the photographers lined up taking pictures above the bikers as they swam with the dolphins. And not just any dolphins mind you Contador got to swim with Tela and baby Pasku! As expected I dove right in with the rest of the photographers and shot away, it was great all these guys we watch on TV every year winning event after event and here they were in person, what more could you ask for?? So for those of you who don’t know this guy, his name is Alberto Contador two time winner of the Tour de France, his list of accomplishments is a mile long and to have him here for a week is wonderful. The big race is Saturday afternoon at 1:00 and I will be shooting the start so be looking for more fun pictures to come. Frank and Andy Schleck are also here and also swam with Contador today along with many others, can hardly wait for Aimee to get back. I was given ticket today as well to the VIP dinner after the race, will get some more jerseys and pictures signed, any requests??
Today on my way to DHL to send my camera back to the States I hear George Kieffer from Dolphin Academy talking on a live interview from sea via a local radio station about Sully the Whale! Turns out the Coast Guard calls George at 1:30 saying they spotted a group of Pilot Whales heading towards Puerto Mari! George, Junior and Naomi take off in the boat to Jan Theil, pick up Sully, (they opened the gate) and off they went headed west to see if they could find the pod? George said on the radio Sully was doing great following them the whole way showing no signs of getting tired but when they got to where the whales were spotted they couldn’t find them?? The last thing I heard was there was two helicopters in the air searching for the wild pod and that George was going to continue west in hopes of finding them and hopefully Sully will then go with them, so that’s all I know at this point. Crazy huh?? Talk about an adventure someone should right a book about this whole ordeal!
Well I have to take the dogs to the trail still for their evening walk, talk to you tomorrow!! Curacao regards, Barry
